They mentioned the same thing, but the US decided to pause for a while; we're moving to HyperSonic Missiles.
Which have far greater ranges.

Hey here's a cool video about batteries

Why the Blue LED was almost impossible to make?

I think they're kind of low priority because for long range work, we have missiles. No gun projectile can outdistance a missile. And while powder-fired guns aren't great, they're adequate for up close.
A little like the reason why we don't have laser rifles... the laser tech exists, but the batteries needed do not.
That citicorp building would be fantastic as the source for a disaster movie. Building gets tipsy and drunk oh oh
The ironic thing about those blue LEDs are the wavelengths most modern streetlights are set to operate at which tend to be towards the blue spectrum, which is pretty much the worst when it comes to lighting and light pollution in general. In making the switch to LED lighting, because they are typically cheaper to operate, municipalities have tended to use MORE of them, not less. More lights, brighter lights, and more scatter and light tresspass (yes, this is a real thing I'm not making up) is getting worse and worse for us and the environment around us. I've noticed more and more lately how much brighter headlights tend to be these days, and in the past it used to be warmer lighting, but now closer to the blue spectrum and brighter white in general.
I can't drive but even as a passenger I notice this in the car when some A-hole is behind you with LED lights that are actual mini suns and they decide to hi beam you. I can imagine it's pure hell for actual drivers who have to be on the road.
Why can't you drive?
